Hike Monkey Mountain with a Local
Monkey Mountain is named after the shape of the mountain in the dry season - from afar the top of the mountain resembles a monkey's head (there are no actual monkeys)! It's one of the most beautiful hikes in the area.
We will meet in the Sayulita plaza or at your hotel/airbnb, and I will drive us 15 minutes to the trailhead. From there, the adventure begins! The hike starts off a little more flat and on a wider trail, and eventually becomes more narrow and steep. We will pass through the beautiful jungle landscape and hear many different birds and wildlife. If you are interested, I am happy to teach you about the different plants and trees along the way, as well the history of the area. As we get closer to the top, the terrain becomes a bit rockier. Just a few minutes more and you're at the most amazing lookout point where you can see the entire bay! Sit on the large sturdy rock overlooking the lush forest and blue ocean below. You will feel a deep connection to nature as you breathe the fresh salty air while watching the birds glide by.
I am happy to be your paparazzi as much as you'd like, and I will also provide you with water and snacks.

La duracion de la actividad es de entre 3/4 horas. IG: @francorossi_pingui
Birding for beginners
Did you know that the Bahia de Banderas is a hotspot for birds? I will take you into the jungle to introduce you to our rich bird-life in a fun, relaxed and informative experience.
This experience is aimed at beginner and intermediate birders as I want to share my love for these little critters with you! I will give you an introduction on how to use binoculars and allow time to practice- you don't need any prior experience.
If you are an advanced birder, please contact me prior to your booking, we can arrange a private tour.
We will meet at the gas station at the entrance of Sayulita. From there we will walk to the private nature reserve Natikari. The dirt road is easy to walk and we can already spot quite a few birds along the way.
When we get to the sanctuary we can continue listening and looking for our feathered friends from the comfort of our palapa located in the jungle garden.
You are welcome to bring a picnic and drinks!
Please contact me for alternative dates or with any questions you might have.
The majestic military macaws can only be seen in this area over the summer, over the winter we get a lot of migrant birds from up north and spring is the best time if you want to experience the best bird concerts!
I also offer jungle hikes here on Airbnb, so make sure you check those out if you prefer a jungle walk with less focus on birds!
